With extensive hands on “wear the tools” experience of over 15 years and unlike many local builders, Trevor will often know more technically than the men performing the work. Add another 12 years of management, design and customer relations experience at the high-end custom home level, Trevor, along with the LBI Team have earned the respect and good reputation Lanphear Builders has had since incorporating in 2009.
